* | automake: Shorter object file names under subdir-objectsThomas Martitz2017-07-061-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combining the 'subdir-objects' option with target-specific flags had the consequence of producing long object file names. This was done to preventively ensure the uniqueness of object file names. We are now using shorter names by default, and handle long names when an actual conflict is detected. This will hopefully reduce the necessity of using the 'prog_SHORTNAME' facility. Example: previously: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects bin_PROGRAMS += path/to/foo path_to_foo_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) -g resulted in objects: sub/path_to_foo-foo.o now object file name is: sub/foo-foo.o * bin/automake.in (proglist, liblist, ltliblist) (dup_shortnames): New globals. (initialize_per_input): Initialize them. (handle_targets): New subroutine. (handle_single_transform): Truncate object file names when possible. * t/subobj-objname-clash.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Update.

| * deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var)Stefano Lattarini2015-01-061-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use 'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and call 'make' on that Makefile. This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want to do in Automake 2.0). The issue has also been reported in bug#15919. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment ("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include' directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'. Minor unrelated refactoring. * lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' -> 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming. * lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. * m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string "# am--include-marker". * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment" rather than just "include foo.mk". Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log. * t/postproc.sh: Rename ... * t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust. (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding. * t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to pass. * t/depcomp8a.sh: Adjust grepping check to account for the changes in the generated Makefile, and tp be somewhat more robust in light of possible future modifications. * t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11c.sh: Likewise. * t/extra-sources.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-grep.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Add a command to help debugging in case of test failure.

An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length limits.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to explicitly order the keys of some perl hashes when looping on them to do sanity/correctness checks and possibly display warning messages; this should ensure a more reproducible output. Not really a big deal, but I prefer to keep the order of such output reproducible if possible. Issue revealed by spurious testsuite failures with perl 5.18, as reported in automake bug#14891.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not through AM_DISTCHECK_FLAGS, nor through DISTCHECK_FLAGS. Apparently, some packages got in the habit of relaying all the options passed to the original ./configure invocation through to the configure invocations in "make distcheck". This was causing problems, because it also passed through the original --srcdir and --prefix options. Fixes: expose bug#14991 (relates to 'distcheck') * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Pass the hard-coded --srcdir and --prefix options *after* both the developer-defined options in $(AM_DISTCHECK_FLAGS) and the user-defined options in $(DISTCHECK_FLAGS). * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove the now-passing test 'distcheck-no-destdist-or-srcdir-override.sh'. * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Update. * NEWS: Likewise.
